This is the first blog of many I will be making over the next three years, describing the process and progress of the Drake Music Curriculum Development Initiative (CDI), funded by the Esmee Fairbairn Foundation under their ‘New Approaches to Learning’ strand. I’m fairly new to blogging so it will be an interesting way to document the journey!
The overall aim of the CDI is to broaden access for disabled musicians to the music curriculum in general, and to music accreditation in particular. We will work to identify the barriers that this diverse group of students face, and develop working partnerships with key organisations – examining bodies, teacher training institutions and government – to increase achievement, inclusion and equality in music education.
Stay tuned…
